Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this layout opened in 1992. The championship course measures more than 7,000 yards and is particularly attractive due to the conditioning and breathtaking views of the ocean with Estoril and Cascais in the foreground, and also of the Sintra Hills. Typically ranked among the top 50 courses in Europe, it can challenge the recreational golfer of the profession. It was the host site for the 1994 & 1995 Portuguese Open Championships.
